About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Reconectar en el lugar de la tierra con cual me siento conectado, no importa donde esté.

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY
"If there is a wall you can`t cross it, beyond, beneath, from the right, from the left. Go away from it and cross and the whole world to see the other side." Glen Hansard/The Frames

To see everything in an holistic way, even in a different way, sometimes, can make things so much easier even when it takes longer...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In September 2013: I felt supported by getting a first orientation in the millions Mexico-City, teaching each other our mother languages and having enriching talks. Until today we keep in touch. (Stefan)

In autumn 2012 I got to know Joan in the fields outside from a tiny village, a 3 hours aways from Madrid. Though CS we incially kept in touch. Joan got good eventually a good friend of mine and he will be perhaps for lifetime.

In summer 2012 I´ve spent two nights at Daniel´s flat in north/east Spain. Experiencing his warm, welcoming and understanding manner eventually convinced me completely: CS is such a rewarding, benefiting, mutual conecting, life-changing experience. I will keep on going and enjoying it...

On New Years Eve 2010/2011 I hosted really funny and interesting Jonathan with whom I got such involved in a conversation in our kitchen that we were about to forget that it was actually time to celebrate the beginning of the new year.

My first (and of course positive) CS-experience I gathered with Mad in Bristols artist quarter, having the chance to meet him in his cosy flat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam in the waterfalls of the little village Roberto Barrios around 60 kilometers from Palenque, Chiapas

Felt the vibe, the strong spirit of the jungle sitting on the rooftoop of one ancient maya temple in Tikal

Dancing together with a group of indigenous women, letting go, releasing all problems for a minute. /Opening up to each other and talking about not convenient to "forbidden" topics
